Newest transceivers from world leaders use our TWELP vocoder, providing highest quality and reliability of the voice communication

PRC 4090

 

AdaptiveDigitalVoiceTM

technology provides highest possible quality of the voice communication, adapting under fading noisy radio channel with variable SNR. The technology is based on our newest TWELP AMR Robust vocoder, operated on changable "on the fly" bit rate in range 3600 bps down to 300 bps and our newest Adaptive Voice Band modem.

 

TWELP Digital Voice in real conditions

Please watch this video up to end in order to hear a huge superiority of the Digital Voice with TWELP vocoder in comparison with analogue voice in channel with very low SNR. In practice, TWELP vocoder provides reliable clear voice communication in unworkable analoque channel.

 

  TWELP  vocoders provide highest speech quality, operating on twice lower bit rates  

 
A diagram demonstrates a huge superiority of the TWELP 2400 bps over MELPe 2400 bps and a closeness (and even superiority for a few languages) to GSM AMR 4750 bps vocoder of the speech quality in clear channel. Exact numbers are presented in the table below.
